I read the document and i really enjoyed.
Nice work.
One comment:
Under Q4. How should the RDF representation be mapped to global ontologies
or reference terminologies?
In relation to MIREOT: it may be worth to mention Ontofox (
http://ontofox.hegroup.org/) as a reference implementation of the MIREOT
principle working with a large set of ontologies commonly used in HCLS.
Cheers,
Carlo
